Hello, Gregor, happy to be here today.

Yeah, so Jamir, you are a staff software engineer at Stack Overflow. I don't think

the platform needs any introduction to our listener base. And that's kind of what makes this one

exciting today that we get a peel back to the curtain a little bit on probably a platform

that I imagine virtually every

technical listener has used at some point in their career. So let's also just here before we get

into today's topic, which is basically around using Svelte at Stack Overflow. What did you do

before Stack Overflow? What was your path to Stack Overflow?

Yeah, sure.

So, yeah, I'm going to start with saying that I'm Italian.

So I studied computer engineering, actually, like, in Italy, in Pisa.

But I was always passionate about user interface development since the very beginning.

That's actually what drew me to what I'm doing today.
